Like an air of deja vu … Real Madrid finds Manchester City for two curriculum games in
Champions League. A double confrontation that will further highlight the Madrid attack. With a clear question: will Carlo Ancelotti align Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham at the same time?
In recent weeks, the Italian technician has not hesitated to juxtapose his offensive stars in a hybrid 4-3-3 where Bellingham fell back into the midfield. But the importance of this crucial match does not exclude a slightly more cautious approach in its animation.
Mbappé still in offensive leader
What is certain, however, is that Kylian Mbappé will still be present at the forefront of the Madrid attack. Decisive during the Derby against Atlético on Saturday (1-1), the captain of the French team found his best sensations and will be watched for this shock against a very porous team defensively.
Vinicius has seen its status are crumbling, but the Champions League remains the favorite playground for the Brazilian dribbler. If Ancelotti was led to change his system, it was Rodrygo who would certainly make the costs of this choice, although the latter is also in a dazzling state of form. For the moment, the trend remains to start the 4th Madrid galactic.
The expected composition for Real Madrid : Courtois – Valverde, Asencio, Tchouameni, Fran Garcia – Ceballos, Modric, Bellingham – Vinicius, Mbappé, Rodrygo.
